When I write in here, I just type. I don't often read back what I write, but when I do I can't help but giggle a little. I ramble so much and have such a difficult time staying on one subject. I am the most scatterbrained girl - ever. The last post I wrote is absolutely ridiculous - I read it just now and realized that to an untrained eye, it would make no sense. I'm not very good with my words, and I apologize if it doesn't make any sense to you...
Anyway, I heard something the other day that really stuck with me. I was told that circumstances should not determine our happiness. We shouldn't label our days "good" or "bad" based on what has happened to us throughout the day, but rather, we should be happy unconditionally. I can't even imagine how drastically my life would change if I lived by that, and I know that's exactly what Jesus wants for us. He wants us to find our happiness and sense of belonging in Him, and not blame our bad days for the crap that happens to us. When we trust and love God even through rough patches, we are worshipping Him in the deepest way. So, be happy! Thank God continuously for your blessings. Never let a bad hair day or power outage ruin your day, because (as much as we think we know this, we don't) we don't want those things to cloud up the fact that living for God is what should ultimately make us happy. Plus, not only will keeping a smile on your face through the difficult times make your heart happier, but trust me, others around you will catch on.
A joyful heart is good medicine, But a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Jeremiah 20:11
AH! There is so much hurt bottled up in my heart - I can't take it! I should have kept up better with this, I know... But you better believe it called me back... Writing in this soothes my soul.
First off, since this is so fresh, for the second time ever I took a look at CraigsList's discussion forums (I'm such a loser, I know), and for some odd reason, I clicked on "grief", despite the fact I have yet to lose somebody close to me due to death (THANK THE LORD). I clicked on a woman's post at random - It was her first time writing about the loss of her baby right before the birth. At the end of the post, she talked about how she thought her daughter and father (whom she had also lost recently) were her guardian angels. The very first reply? This guy had the guts to tell her that there was no such thing as God or Angels. He tore into the poor woman! My first thought was how tragic and awful this reply is to a mourning mother. You just don't do that. Fortunately, the guy was put in his place by others who were somewhat compassionate to this woman's situation. I know I don't have all of the answers, but I do know that I have a loving father up in heaven who has absolutely everything under control. He has a plan, always. Along with grief and mourning comes the inevitable heaven/hell controversy. I was so saddened to read about people's crushed faith and about those who tried with all of their power to stray others from God, but one woman's post blew me out of the water. She had been infected by AIDS at age 12 by rape, and is now 38 years old. She was in incredible pain and had been for decades, and she decided she was ready to end her life. This thread made me realize that my life is far too comfortable. I'm too healthy, too loved, too happy, too sheltered, too blessed. People responded in such different ways, but you better believe that all of the Christians were immediately persecuted for sharing Jesus Christ with the woman. The post started a couple of days ago, and the woman was responding to the comments, but after a LOT of writing, it just stopped. Who knows if this is even legitimate, but you better believed I prayed anyway. I hope this woman is okay, wherever she is, and decided against suicide (she was going to overdose on heroine). My heart aches for this woman who has given up on God. And my heart hurts for those posting who don't know Christ. All I know is that this woman is permanently on my heart - I'm so sheltered, and it takes weird stuff like random CraigsList discussion forums to remind me that if I'm living comfortably, I am not living for Christ. Kristen, we've got to step it up.
I am going to take some time after I am done writing to pray again for that woman, for Kevin's work friend who is in critical condition in the hospital, and for guidance with school and work. I also need to thank him IMMENSELY for the blessings he reins over me on a daily basis...
Lastly, I want ALL of you to watch this video. It made me bawl my eyes out... but in a good way. Give it a shot... it really epitomizes Jesus' love for all of us.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=Nig4Rbeoqwk <-----Just do it.
But the Lord is with me as a dread warrior;therefore my persecutors will stumble; they will not overcome me. They will be greatly shamed, for they will not succeed. Their eternal dishonorwill never be forgotten.

Hebrews 13:4
I have been such a slacker with this blog, but I am surprised I have made it this far without giving up. I have no self discipline, but mark my words, I'm learning. Instead of writing in here, I have been reading some really awesome book, which still doesn't excuse me not writing. But anyway, while I'm on the subject of this awesome book, I might as well tell y'all a little bit about it. It's called Marriable by Hayley and Michael Dimarco, and I have learned more from it than any other book I have ever read (besides the bible). I have learned so much about sexual purity, ways to avoid seeming desperate and why we absolutely positively should not make friends with the opposite sex. I have also gotten a little more insight into a guy's mind. The more I read, the more thankful I have such a loving, God fearing boyfriend. He is a rare find - a 26 year old who doesn't pressure me, control me (that's right), or put me down. I can tell he really does want the best for me through his actions. Anyway, let me share a little of what I have been reading...
-Women lie to themselves (for validation); men lie to others (for admiration and sex)
-Sex will not make a man love you more - it will only put off the important questions until the heat dies down (do I see myself starting a family with her, etc)
-Romance is a tool men use. Relationships are happier when women expect less romance, and men use the romance tool more.
-When a man and woman have sex, the woman isn't doing herself any favors when it comes to finding the one.
-Having sex before marriage is like reading the last chapter in a book. No matter how much you get to know the other person after sex, you know how it's going to end, hence less of a thrill.
-Chick flicks, romance novels, etc is porn for women. Just like male porn instills an unreal fantasy for men, chick flicks and romance books instill an unreal fantasy of the perfect man for women. The more time you spend in reality, the less likely you'll be to fall for the trap.
-Porn = desperation
-Save friendships for same sex, and love for the opposite sex.
I could go on and on, since I am so stoked out about this book. Maintaining a healthy relationship is always fascinating to me, so this book is really hard to put down. It is helping me to really respect the male gender. Us girls are far too confusing, poor guys.
How ironic I am listening to Darren Hayes right now. His music, much like chick flicks and romance novels, is porn for women.
Anyway, verse of the night.
Marriage is honorable among all, and the bed undefiled; the fornicators and adulterers God will judge.
-Hebrews 13:4
To help me strive for sexual morality. There are just so many reasons to be pure, and so few not to be. God was SO smart to tell us to save sex for marriage. It's difficult but it's going to be soo worth it :) It's amazing that people think of God as a god of rules. He commands certain things of us to prevent heartache and dysfunctional relationships. He really is the epitome of a loving father.

And for fun-

Psalm 107:1
I want to take the time tonight to just thank God. He has done and is still doing so much in my life that I forget to be thankful for. Instead of trying to fix myself and focus on the negative stuff tonight, I am going to give thanks.
Thank you, Jesus,
1. for parents who love me with all of their heart and are proud of me
2. that my parents are still together after 22 years
3. for a sister that can read my mind
4. that I live in a nice house in a nice area, and I don't have to be fearful at night
5. for a wonderful boyfriend whom I trust with all of my being
6. for never overwhelming me with tragedies
7. that I am able to pursue a higher education through college
8. for evie, blue, little kitty and mittens
9. for always providing food, shelter and nourishment
10. for never giving up on me, even when I gave up on you
11. for providing me with a job I enjoy
12. for a set of really outstanding grandparents
13. that I don't have to pay for school
14. for my outgoing nature (even though sometimes it can be a bit much)
15. for giving me a world of opportunities, and a chance to succeed
The list, of course, could go on. And on. And on. I am so caught up in trying to fix myself, that I forget to take moments to thank and praise God for the good things in my life.
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.
Psalm 107:1
Let us remember this verse when all we want to do is complain. Awhile back, my mom was telling my dad how she thought the house was such a mess. "Now say something positive," he said. Apparently her therapist had used this exercise with my mom when she was feeling down. For each negative thing she'd say, the therapist told my dad to catch it and make her be thankful for something. "Well, it does smell nice in here," she said. It was certainly a start. This exercise always stuck with me, and I think it could be a huge help when I'm being ungrateful. I have so much to give thanks for, and if I can get myself in the habit of conquering each negative statement with a positive one, I know I'll be on a better path to fixing my brokenness.

Ephesians 1:11-12
I'm just sort of feeling down on myself tonight. Instead of finding my worth in Jesus, I'm looking for outside sources to tell me I'm special. In some way or another, most of my blogs are about this issue. I'm struggling so much for attention from everyone in this world, that I am forgetting that my worth can only be found in Jesus. It's so easy to say that, but so difficult to feel it. I just want to hear words of praise and consolation from human lips, but no combination of words spoken by a mortal toungue can make me feel worthy. My sense of worth is not coming from Christ, but instead, everyone else. Not only is this paying it's toll on me, but it is on the people closest to me as well. But I have a sneaking suspicion that I am not the only one falling to this. Everybody wants to be praised and told that they're something special, and if you think this excludes you, it doesn't. Because at some point, you yearn to hear words of encouragement and consolation from someone other than God. We all do.
In him we were also chosen, having been predestined according to the plan of him who works out everything in conformity with the purpose of his will, in order that we, who were the first to hope in Christ, might be for the praise of his glory.
Ephesians 1:11-12
In other words, God chose us individually when He planned creation. How amazing, that we were chosen to be a part of something so much bigger than ourselves. When I put everything in perspective, it doesn't really matter if I get praise from others or not. I was chosen when God decided to create life. He knew who I was, and loved me long before I was even born. Nothing can be more flattering (and humbling) than that!

Psalm 25:9
Just as you thought the list of things I have to work on could not get any bigger...
I think that all of my problems snowball off of the same issue: I talk way to much, and without thinking. It seems like it would be so easy to shut up when it's appropriate, but not for me. Heck no. Without thinking, I always seem to try to one up everybody. I'm not sure who (or even what) I am trying to prove by doing this, but it has to stop. Nobody cares about the countries I have visited or how school is going. It just doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong, sometimes it is okay and appropriate to talk about ourselves, but lets face it - we all like to talk more about ourselves than to listen to others. There are so many problems that are occurring because I am not a good listener, and I talk too much, including hurting people's feelings, blurting out things in an argument that I regret an hour later, looking stupid and feeling stupid. I lack a sense of humility and patience.
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way.
Psalm 25:9
I'm going to pray for that humility tonight. I need to stop caring so much about my life stories and more about others'. It's like when we are having a bad hair day or are feeling really fat, we think everybody is analyzing us, but that's so untrue. Nobody really pays attention to us, nor are they scrutinizing us. Try listening to others' stories before you tell yours. No matter how interesting you think your life is, you can't one up everybody.
Let's keep today's verse as a reminder that God will bless those who are humble, and he will put them on the right path.

1 John 4:19
Let me make something clear: I love Jesus more than my boyfriend. I am not only saying this to convince all of you, but I'm also saying it to convince myself. Its so easy to say that, but so difficult to show it. I talk about Kevin all the time at work, but am terrified to start a conversation about God. It's scary since I have no idea how they will react. So, sure I can say all day long that I love Jesus more, but really, I'm not showing it. This is something I am going to have to work out with God, and soon. I have to stop yaking about Kev all the time, and start talking about the man who loves me more than everybody on this earth put together.
We love because He first loved us.
1 John 4:19
I am only able to love Kevin because God loved me first. This is something I have to remind myself of every day. I am so grateful that God loved us so that we could love others. Because of Him, we can know how to give and recieve love. Way to be, God.

Psalm 118:24
I promised Kevin I would get some sleep, since I'm exhausted and have to drive to Ahwatukee for work and be there by 8 am. Kill me. Please, somebody kill me. It's not that I am not a morning person, it's just that the first 5 minutes of being awake is the worst feeling ever. I can imagine hell would be like getting out of bed over and over and over again. Not trying to make an insightful analogy, just being honest.
It's seldom I get those moments where I feel so tiny and insignificant in the grand scheme of things, since I'm unfortunately selfish and sometimes think the world revolves around me, but the other day I got one so massive that it gave me goosebumps. I often think I'm invincible (but doesn't everyone when they're young?) and that I'm guarenteed another day if I mess up today. When I stop to think about it, though, what is God using me for now? Why does he want me here? Because I don't think I have done anything spectacular, I figure I still have some time on this earth before God gets rid of me. But what if I have served my purpose? What if I was created for the sole purpose of becoming a catalyst in somebody's life? It's scary to think about how enormous and powerful God is. Our human minds cannot even comprehend eternity. If we are able to die every day for Jesus on this earth, we get to spend eternity with him. Wow.
I figure when the elect get to heaven, everybody is going to have so many questions for God. You better believe I have a list of questions that I'm going to ask, but those will stay in my pocket until after orientation (I'm pretty sure God is going to have a "heaven orientation", since everybody will be new to the heaven thing. Also, this is where he will answer all of the frequently asked questions and give closure to controversial subjects. The answers will be so obvious that we will slap ourselves.). After heaven, it will be a free-for-all, like releasing a pack of children into Chuck-E-Cheese. We will get to spend eternity with God, our creator and father. No combination of words could possibly describe what this feeling will be like. All I know is that I am desperately excited.
But if you go to hell (and lets really hope you don't), you will be waking up to the most awful, shrilling alarm clock you could ever imagine. Over and over again.
All I know is is that I want to be as far away from that stupid alarm clock as possible. And for me, that means loving God with all I've got. Which is much more than I am giving Him.
This is the day that the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.
Psalm 118:24
^^To remind me that today is a gift. I must rejoice today since I may not have a tomorrow.
Sorry I have been all over the place tonight. I hope you understand.

John 14:27
I have so much going on in my life right now, and I almost didn't write tonight, since I don't feel like it. I don't feel like doing anything. Everybody wants something else from me, and life is becoming overwhelming. All I want to do is complain, complain, complain, and then complain some more. But what I figured is that it is more important for me to write when I don't want to than when I do. That's how the devil works - he gets under your skin and wears you down. I feel like I have just ran a marathon, but I know it's just Satan. I know that he doesn't want me to write in here or spend time with Jesus. To this I respond: Just watch me.
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.
John 14:27
This is my verse for the "I just don't feel like it" days. How inspiring. Just reading it gives me a sense of peace and calmness. This is the perfect verse for me tonight. Hopefully this verse can stay with me over the next few days, since I know it is going to be a long, stressful few days. May God's peace dwell within me, and may His love consume me. I pray this for not only myself, but for all of you who may be reading this.

Proverbs 3:5-6
I'm too tired to even think straight. What an exhausting and emotionally draining day. I don't have a clue on what I should do about work.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.

I'm so conflicted and confused. I don't have any idea what to do. I know I have to trust that God will provide, but it's getting so difficult to make ends meet. How long is this stress going to continue? It's been months. Maybe I'm just not trusting Him enough, who knows. I'm too tired for this tonight, I'm sorry.
